Drum creates a bit of space for himself and rocks Vaughn with a big uppercut! Vaughn tries to clinch up but Drum pushes him back against the cage and lands another monster strike that crumples Vaughn to the mat! Vaughn covers up and Drum unloads with more strikes until the referee steps in to end the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). West Drum!
